this is relation to global warming and the ice caps melting,

It already has. Did you miss it? Has anyone actually noticed that the sea level isn't rising. I have been going to the beach for 40 years and the high tide mark is still in the same spot it was 40 years ago. Yet global warming weenies claim the sea level is rising rapidly. Where?

Maybe, provided our lifetime is on the order of 5 billion years. Global warming and the melting of ice caps have nothing to do with the end of the Earth.

The answer to your question is 100% no, not in our life time. Earth will not be here forever though. The final day for for Earth will be when the sun finally burns out, exploding before so. If human life is even on Earth by this time I am not sure. In saying this who knows, whats to say we cant move the earth before this happens.
You are talking about billions of years from now, can you imagine how advanced we may be. By then we would already have met other beings on other planets, billions of light years away. Its a shame we are all going to miss it, or will we !!! Earth might not be a place people want to stay in the future, maybe end up being a place where we leave all the prisoners to do what they want.

Depends what you mean by earth end? Do you mean human life? If so, then I don't think so. Even with excessive global warming, sea levels rising and weather changing to extremes, us humans (I think I speak for most!), have a way of surviving and adapting. I think it'll take more than global warming and ice caps melting to get us off this ball.

No, Global warming and ice caps melting is the early first stage. It will only end in next billion years because of the sun, which is now half billion years old. Global warming won't kill us easily, because we are finding solution to reduce global warming and ice meltdown.

Interesting - I don't know what your lifetime is as I can't see the future and I don't even know your age :) However I would suggest five things.
A: There is very unlikely to be a meteor.
B: Global warming will not end the world, although the world will undoubtedly change massively in the coming century - as ice and climates shift.
C: We are very unlikely to bring back (clone) dinosaurs which will take over the world.
D: Aston Villa will not win another Football title before the world does end.
E: Just assume it's going to end and make the most of it!!!!

Yes, but its more likely to be as a result of a natural disaster as has happened in the past, such as a super-volcano erupting. With global warming and the rise of the oceans due to ice caps melting their shall be more activity in relation to the earths natural cycle concerning earthquakes and volcanic activity.

as the ice caps melt less solar energy is reflected back into space thus increasing the heating effect. The rate of polar cap melt has jumped up in the 2 years from 0.15% to 6%!
I am not convinced that the planet will become baron in our lifetime but it may well become uninhabitable for humans.

At the current rate of global warming, we will not experience the end of earth in this life time.

No one really knows what the consequences of global warming will exactly be, but it's gonna put a lot of strain to humanity and all other animal life on earth.
